December 3rd + some jewelry + a surprise for all the crazy cat-ladies in the end!

Teemu's parents babysitted Ruu for the whole day, I had a doctor appointment and spend the rest of the day at home. Didn't get much done. Though I added some of my jewelry for sale to Facebook and Etsy. That is always the most boring thing to do. I have loads of jewelry waiting for photographing and adding for sale.. Recently I have made some "lovers" earrings and more skeletons and other stuff of shrink plastic. 

Custom-made piece of jewelry for a new-born baby-girl. I drew the fox by myself.

Custom-made jewel for a Sister-fan-girl. This is the logo of the band.

The Frankenstein's monster and his lovely bride. Drew the original pictures by myself.

Scarlett and Rhett.
Once again; originals drawn by me.

Ken and Barbie.
Drawn by me.

Skeleton pendant, drawn by me.

All the world is green*

* it is! And it's also a song by Tom Waits.

Hi there!

I haven't been too hardworking with my blog lately, eh... That's mostly because I've been missing 1.) The Right Mood and also 2.) Time and Energy. But here I am now!

The world has turned to green!! We have had loads of warm, sunny days in Helsinki and we've visited a play park almost every day with Ruu.Today I saw the first house martins (swallows) of this summer! It was awesome, for me they've always meant that the summer has begun. I love their shrieking voices! 

Forests are full of wood anemones

The birch leaves grew fast, as every spring.
Oh, how I've missed the sound of wind and rustling leaves!

A mute swan we saw a week ago.

Some crazy art work in the forests of Kauniainen.

Me posing!

There is a lovely park and a small river near to our home.
There lives some pretty tame mallards and other water birds.
The photo was taken in April, when it wasn't so warm and green yet...

Feeding a mallard.

Mommy's little helper hoovering
and wearing the best accessory ever (my -clean- underpants around his neck...)(-_-)

Aaand some more photos of my lil muffin...

I drew some stickers to Ann-Marie!

Some postcards I sent on the other day.
I've started postcrossing again, which is fun, but probably extremely stupid, since I don't seem to have enough time even for my long-term penpals... But I've never said that I was a very rational person...

One of our local libraries was closed during the renovation and they had plenty of books they sold away for ridiculously low price. I paid 1 euro for these.
For ALL OF THESE.
I found some comics, novels and couple of books to cut up and be used in decos.

And that's all for now. I hope you are having a great weekend! Cheers!


Ps. There is about to start a thunder storm!! There are lightning and rumbling outside, it looks and sounds amazing. I L-O-V-E THUNDER STORMS!! And I love summer.

Serious thinking and random photos

Shalom!
 
So, it's Thuesday evening already. As a result of last Friday's party I've been exhausted for FOUR DAYS. We had great time, but maybe I should have drink less beer and apple cider :P Bleh. I've been considering becoming an absolutist, for serious!
 
As a birthday present I gave to my friend an etching print I had made at school 3 years ago.

For those who aren't familiar with that technique, here's how it is done: 

1. First a copper plate is covered with a waxy ground which is resistant to acid. 
2. Then artist scratches off the ground with a pointed etching needle where she/he wants a line to appear in the finished piece. 
3. The plate is then dipped in a bath of acid. The acid bites into the metal, leaving behind lines sunk into the plate. The remaining ground is then cleaned off the plate. 
4. The plate is inked all over, and then the ink wiped off the surface, leaving only the ink in the etched lines. 
5. The plate is then put through a high-pressure printing press together with a sheet of paper. The paper picks up the ink from the etched lines, making a print. The process can be repeated many times; several hundred copies could be printed. 

The print I've made

wrapped the present in paper with some other stuff

Lately I've been reading a book about ayurveda for women. I find it very interesting. There are lots of  commonalities between ayurveda and my other beliefs. I'll might even try an ayurvedic diet to see will I feel better afterwards! It's not anything freaky, there are just different foodstuff one's body type sould avoid or prefer. Like I shouldn't eat raisins or broccoli or mushrooms or chocolate :( but for example all the nuts, avocados and spices are good for me!

I don't have much to say today, so I'll share some photos with you. Here are some of my latest purchases and other stuff! :)

Some stuff I found from the book- and paper store sales!!

button tape! And a postcard with removable skull-stickers!!

Mariposa scrapbooking pad!! plus some beautiful postcards!
And brads with 70% discount!!
